Binghamton University offers theatre tour of Scotland

2008-01-24

The Binghamton University Alumni Association and the Theatre Department are coordinating a trip to Scotland, scheduled to run from August 2-10, 2008. The tour is open to the public.

Travelers will take a ferry from Ullapool across "The Minch" to the Outer Hebrides arriving at the Isle of Harris and Lewis, while enjoying theatre performances, sightseeing, including the famous beach of Luskentyre, and the opportunity to walk the "Royal Mile."

The final two days of the tour will be spent in Edinburgh, and coincides with an annual performing arts festival. Known as “The 'Fringe,” the festival includes performances by actors, dancers, mimes, jugglers, comedians and musicians who assemble every August for the world's largest indoor/outdoor "happening". In addition to an introduction to Scotland, participants will have time for exploration on their own.

The tour costs $2499 per person, which includes roundtrip airfare, bed and breakfast accommodations and itinerary activities. A $500 deposit is required to reserve a place on the tour.
